And then to completely mess up my palate....
2004 Juan Gil Monastrell (Jumilla) $18. Termites delight. My gawd this is horrid
2004 Marques Phillips Shiraz (South Australia) $16 Smoky nose with chocolate and dark fruit. Pretty hot finish
2004 Seghesio Zinfandel-Sonoma (Healdsburg) A small portion is being released under Stelvin as a trial. Pretty consistently decent zin. Nice fruit, good depth of flavor, a bit hot but it will go well with grilled meats.
